Okay, I vaguely remember this case. I know it was still unsolved as of the late 90's. If anyone who is older than I am and was born and raised in Ontario, you may remember this.

It was the case of a baby (boy?) who was left in his pram outside a grocery store while his (?) mother was buying a few items. When she came out, she found the pram but the child was gone.

Now in the late 80's/early 90's, I had this missing child's info and photo from one of the Canadian missing persons organizations, on a BBS (pre-internet dial-up with 2400 baud modems for you younger people). This child was also listed on Doe Network in the few early days of it's life but they lost the file (among others) when they made the move to a new service provider shortly there after.

Does anyone remember this case or know how we can obtain the old photo and articles?

This case happened roughly in 1948 or the late 40's.

Can we bring this case back to the public eye?

I am too far away from Ontario to help dig through the archives. Are there any takers?

Do we have any idea as to the name of the town or even general area (north, south, anything?). Not much to go on here. Chris, are you thinking that this sounds like the story/legend of the woman who believed she had a baby, but had never actually had a child of her own? Its a common one along the Ont/Quebec border, told at campfires to freak each other out, like the hitch hiker stories.
